METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at SB\u00dc G\u00fclhane Training and Research Hospital between January 2021 and December 2024, including 1,322 infants referred after newborn hearing screening due to either a \"refer\" result or the presence of risk factors despite passing automated auditory brainstem response. Relevant risk factors were analyzed.  RESULTS: Hearing loss was detected in 92 infants (7.0%), including 3.3% with unilateral and 3.7% with bilateral loss. By severity, the distribution was mild (2.8%), moderate (0.8%), moderately severe (0.3%), and profound (1.5%). While most infants with unilateral loss did not receive amplification, bilateral cases showed higher rates of hearing aid (28.6%) and cochlear implant (14.3%) use. Family history of hearing loss was the only factor significantly associated with device adoption (p&lt;0.05).  CONCLUSION: The prevalence of hearing loss in referred infants was higher than in population-based studies and aligned with findings in high-risk groups. Differences in device use between unilateral and bilateral cases highlight the importance of parental counseling. Strengthening follow-up and family awareness is crucial to improving early intervention outcomes, particularly in infants without a family history.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1806-9282.20251993","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T10:32:34Z","timestamp":1781519554000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Newborn hearing screening: outcomes and management of infants"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"72","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3189-058X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hatice K\u00fcbra","family":"Bozkurt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye; University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7212-2208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatma Ceyda Ak\u0131n","family":"\u00d6\u00e7al","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5207-0014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ercan","family":"Karababa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye; University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8948-1020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ay\u015fe Nur","family":"Balaban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7868-1510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rumeysa Nur","family":"Akba\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0951-9602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d6yk\u00fc \u00d6zba\u015f","family":"Kes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0802-6822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emine","family":"Ayd\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Science,  T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"reference":[{"issue":"16","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1964","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare13161964","article-title":"Prevalence of hearing impairment in Saudi Arabia: pathways to early diagnosis, intervention, and national policy","volume":"13","author":"Alduais A","year":"2025","journal-title":"Healthcare (Basel)"},{"issue":"10278","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"996","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)00516-X","article-title":"Hearing loss prevalence and years lived with disability, 1990-2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019","volume":"397","year":"2021","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"issue":"21","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2195","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.17647","article-title":"Hearing loss in children: a review","volume":"324","author":"Lieu JEC","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24394","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-025-10150-7","article-title":"Outcome of universal newborn hearing screening conducted in three referral hospitals in Cameroon","volume":"15","author":"Choffor-Nchinda E","year":"2025","journal-title":"Sci Rep"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"719","article-title":"Newborn hearing screening.
